Entry: To Troy Friday, October 28, 2005



The town, not the person. Okay, so the last week has been pretty interesting. Last weekend, the boys arrived late Friday night. We went to the studio and found them and decided to go and eat at good ol' 4Bs. So the 9 of us just kind of hung out for an hour or so and then decided to go to Mark Mann's house. We arrived and things were semi boring, so I took Justin and AJ to my house and they took some shots and I laughed because apparently Jim Beam and coke don't taste very good. I brought them back to Mark's house and everyone was drunk. I love being the only sober person (besides Jordan) around a bunch of drunken idiots. The OG's were all pretty trashed and dancing around and trying to kiss people. I laughed and then Mark said he wanted to go to sleep so we moved the party to my temporary house. I had asked Aaron earlier if I could invie some people over and he said sure. Everyone came over to my house and things were pretty out of control so I made some people leave and the rest of us just kinda chilled for a bit. Out of nowhere, Zack, the landlord came over and got all pissed and starting throwing people ou of the house and shit and he picked up Demus b the back of the neck an threw him into the door and Jordan and Matt got punched in the face and Carson almost did and it was crazy. Somehow in the scuffle, I too ended up being punched in the face. So I went over to Mark's for a bit and we put some ice on my face and Nina and the Juice slept in the corner and T-Hugz and Dylan slept on the couch and Matt and Amber and Eric slept in the sex room and I went to the boys' hotel. I knocked on the door and Jordan answered and saw my ice pack and he was pissed and so I slept on their floor. The next day, I picked up the girls and we all hung out for a while and went to get some Mickey D's. I showered and stuff and then we went to meet the boys at McDonald's in Marketplace because they had gone to a movie with Hanna and some other Conrad girl and yeah. We walked over to the movie theater parking lot and played hackey sack and listened to the old used and hung out for like an hour. It was fun. Then we went to my house and eveyone played beer pong and it was kinda lame, but we still had fun. Then Justin realized he had left his phone in the movie theater parking lot and so I took him to go get it. We were gone for like an hour and had a really long talk. We got back and AJ and Greg had raided Aaron's closet and he gave them a bunch of shit he didn't want anymore which was cool and he apologized for the night before and everyone got along and I was happy. Then we went back to the hotel and went to sleep at like 2 in the morning. The next day Aaron was supposed to record his vocals but he was really sick and he pretty much sucked at life that day so they postponed and decided to come back. But the music they got done was amazing! I really love their new song "The Best Thing". It rocks!  I forget if I already told you gys that we have set a date for the "wedding". Noevember 19th a bunch of us are getting together and getting all dressed up andgoing to dinner at 3D and watching movies and whatnot...that's our "ceremony" it is sure to be a grand time.  Anyways, so the boys left around like 4 and i was sad.  Then the week flew by pretty fast. I was supposed to go to Chinook but Justin is the hardest mofo to get ahold of on the planet! So I didn't go.  So hmm...Sean (Amber's bf from Billings) was here for their 5 day weekend.  He showed up on Wednesday.  Friday night a bunch of us went to the haunted house at the old jail...I literally thought i was gonna die...and then, right when we got outside, demus jumped out and we all just about pissed ourselves! What a duscher...Okay...so then we went to Hardee's and got free ice cream for kissing th guy working on the cheek...that was pretty sweet...I had a mint chocolate chip milkshake...yummy.  I tried to take Sean's bandana out of his back pocket and he yelled at me and that sucked, but then he apologized royally and gave me a big hug. I love Sean. Great guy...perfect with Amber...Hmm...So then that night there was a party at Brad and Craig's. I made an appearance simply to pick up Mollie's drunk ass and drive her so she didn't die.  Craig and i actually got along that night whcih was good.  The party moved to Aaron's and Amanda and Nick came over with the usual crew.  I left drunken Mollie and went to Cattin's with them, wheer we stayed until 6 in the morning! It was during this time that I was invited on another adventure.  Our friend Matt is from Troy Montana.  He has a friend Brad who is being deployed to Iraq shortly.  He wanted to see him before he left, so Nick volunteered to take him up there.  He told us his friend Brad would pay for everything and whatnot, we just had to get up there first.  So Nick and I payed for all the gas.  The first night we stopped in Missoula and I went to bed early while the others all got pigsnacked and took pictures of eachother running around in the streets and passing out in the piles of leaves. Classic eh? The next day we had ANOTHER 3 hour drive to get up to Troy... At this point I will tell you about Matt. Matt has an obsession with CKY the band.  He loves them.  We finally learned last weekend where that obsession stems from and BY GOD did we learn.  So we get to Troy and go to this guy John's house. (Mind you it is 45 degrees colder up there in BFN, so we were freezing balls) We get there and there is a sign on the door that says CKY2K (name of a CKY dvd) on the front door.  We walk in and John is wearing a CKY shirt and sitting on the couch next to his wife, also wearing a CKY shirt, as well as a CKY necklace and belt buckle, a heartogram necklace and sporting a HIM tattoo (the Egyptian flame from the cover of Deep Shadows Brilliant Highlights).  Wowzers.  Wait, wait, it gets worse.  They were watching a horror movie with the sound OFF and listening to CKY as sort of a soundtrack.  So the boys got a little pigsnacked and I hung out pretty much doing and saying nothing.  Matt decided to take a walk thirty frickwen miles to some pond and we were like f that, so me and nick and dan stayed behind and sat in silence in this trailer for like an hour and a half, watching John play Madden football and NOT offer for any of us to play or do ANYTHING for that matter.  Then, when Matt got back, John put in the CKY4 dvd and we had to watch that.  Don't get me wrong. I like CKY. I really like Bam Margera and I fricken LOVE H.I.M. But that was f-ing rediculous.  so yeah. then me and nick are still wondering where our money is cause we were suppposed to get paid as soon as we got there.  So me and Brad are outside talking and he mentions that he would "help us out if he could get to his bank" In other words, he had NO IDEA that he had been volunteered to pay for our whole f-ing trip. I told Nick and we THOUGHT the night couldn't get any worse. But we were sooo wrong.So then John kicks everyone out so they can go to bed and we are like uh...okay...matt told us he had plenty of places where we could stay...and then he was all "Uhh...okay well I guess we can sneak into Vinny's house..." Me and Nick are looking at eachother like "Is this kid serious?" So we snuck into some house and there was no heat and we slept on the floor and had sheets for blankets and froze to death and it was soooo horrible.  (Sidenote: The next morning, Nick tells of how he was unable to sleep and was staring at the jack o lantern on top of the tv.  It was carved in the shape of the grim reaper and while he was in his daze, the lid fell in and put the candle out and Nick was pretty scared after that...) So in the morning, Brad is like, if yu take me to my bank I will give you guys plenty of money to cover this whole mess.  We are like alright, let's drive down the street to the bank and it'll all be okay.  So we ask him where his bank is...Kalispell.  That's two hours away.  So we have to borrow money from his mom to get gas to get to Kalispell and then Brad buys us all lunch and fills the gas tank and pays me and Nick each 50 bucks for our troubles...Matt=duschbag who didn't pay us a dime and probably never will.  So then we drive back to Troy, another two hours, to drop Brad off and Matt decides (hallelujah!!!!!!!) that he s gonna stay there and we are going to go home without him. Let me tell you I almost cried tears of joy!  But I was very sad when we said goodbye to Brad because he is a total sweetheart and he was super nice and I wish him luck in Iraq and I pray that he comes home to us safely.  Who knows how matt will get back to Great Falls...and honestly...I don't really care.  He's a pretty good guy for the most part, but htis weekend was bullshit.  So we left Troy after the worst night ever and went back to Zootown.  We stayed at Ayme's again and hung out with her and her roommtes, who all rock. Let's just say we had a pretty good night.  I went to sleep around 4:30 and then we were supposed to leave early so I could get home for work, but that didn't happen because Nick straight passed the fuck out and didn't wake up for the alarm on his phone.  We got back to G-funk around 6:30 and I was exhausted, but it was still fun, horrible, but fun.  I took the photos to one hour photo and the turned out pretty sweet, especially this silhouette of nick leaning on a lightpost.  There were a crapton of pics from when the PBP boys were here, including one of me and AJ and he was licking my face...lol...I love him! So yeah...I got hired at Herberger's and will most likely be resigning my position at Zumiez considering that last week I had like 3 hours... This week was pretty unexciting until yesterday.  I was eating lunch at Taco Treat with Mollie when we ran into James, whom we haven't seen in like 6 months.  We talked for about an hour and he invited us to a halloween party at the hi ho bar (the local fireman's bar)  We dyed my hair really dark brown that night and it looks really good, it brings out my brown eyes.  Then we went up to the hi ho and hung out for a couple hours and then went to James's house to watch Hitch, for the millionth time.  Sweet.  My friend Kayla called me for the first time since she left for the navy and i was soooo excited! I miss her a lot.  She graduated basic and is in tech school now.  She gets to come home for Christmaas and that is going to be a very sweet reunion!  Today was a lazy day, just chillin and me and Mollie went to the laundrymat to wash our 8, yes 8, batches of laundry. And if you have an issue with me calling them batches instead of loads, that sucks for you.  So we did that and now i am here, writing this update that is long overdue. But, i think it can be forgiven considering as how I was in hell USA this weekend.  (PS my sister was pissed when she found out i was that close to spokane and didnt come to see her! And her due date has been bumped up...little Corbin is probably going to be a little bit early!)  So yeah...this weekend is gonna be pretty rad.  Tomorrow is an OG night and then Sunday the PBP boys are back for the Freak Show.  Yay!!.  I love Halloween because it means two more months till Christmas!!!  I am obsessed with Christmas...as you all know by now.  Probably not dressing up, but if I do, me and Mollie are gonna be Goldie and Wendy from Sin City, except now I have to get a blonde wig, cause I'm not blonde anymore.  Monday is actually Halloween and I'll probably go trick or treating with Mollie and then pass out some candy with my mom.  Cool.  Upcoming events...not many...I can't go to 311 cause I have to work and I can't go to Bright Eyes with my Jordy cause I have to work and I'm kinda pissed but it's okay cause I need to save some money.  Okay, now for the depressing news.  Chris has quit Driven Under.  (and he cut off his dreads).  It's a long story apparently, but if you want the whole story, read the site, that has the accurate version.  to my knowledge, they are all still on good terms, so don't believe the rumors you hear, if you hear any.  They have a new bassist named Sam, and I'm sure he will do a decent job in Chris's very-hard-to-fill shoes.  Good luck to the boys with that.  They have a cd release show coming up on November 18th at the Carroll College Cube in helena and they are playing with Nick and Evin and Pacer (aka the 8th day), so that should be a great show.  BE THERE OR BE SQUARE!!!!! Okay, I will hopefully update again soon...have a great weekend and a super Halloween. Stay safe and if i cathc any of you fuckers beating up little kids, or stealing candy, or smashing people's pumpkins, i will personally kick your asses!!  Mucho Love....me     (ps...myspace wars are lame...and so is that "my humps" song)

SoNgS oF tHe WeEk:  "Heartache Every Moment" by HIM

From lashes to ashes
And from lust to dust
In your sweetest torment
I'm lost
And no heaven can help us
Ready, willing and able
To lose it all
For a kiss so fatal
And so warm

Oh it's heartache every moment
From the start 'til the end
It's heartache every moment
With you
Deeper into our heavenly suffering
Our fragile souls are falling
It's heartache every moment
Baby with you

And we sense the danger
But don't wanna give up
'Cause there's no smile of an angel
Without the wrath of god

Oh it's heartache every moment
From the start 'til the end
It's heartache every moment
With you
Deeper into our heavenly suffering
Our fragile souls are falling
It's heartache every moment
Baby with you
My darling with you

From lashes to ashes
And from lust to dust
In your sweetest torment
I am lost
And we sense the danger
But don't wanna give up

Oh it's heartache every moment
From the start 'til the end
It's heartache every moment
With you
Deeper into our heavenly suffering
Our fragile souls are falling
It's heartache every moment with you
That's right



AND!!!!!  "Betrayal!" by The Black Maria

I love how they used to say,
It's all in your head.
You're a paranoid picture,
You're a photograph...

Exposed by the light,
When you step outside,
Burnt by the sun,
That's in your eyes...

But when I saw it in my face,
In this mirror that needs to break,
Something bothered me and left me to feel...

Betrayal, Betrayal,
It rips right through me,
How you lie right to me,
Betrayal, Betrayal,
Will this world make better sense?
Once you mean nothing to me...

It's on the cutting room floor,
Footage of this mess,
Filmed then packaged and ready to sell...

Betrayal, Betrayal,
It rips right through me,
How you lie right to me,
Betrayal, Betrayal,
Will this world make better sense?
Once you mean nothing to me...

You used to live in a memory,
Now those pictures are burning...now
You're a memory,
A fingerprint on the film,
You're a shadow in the sun,
Now it's your time to burn...

Betrayal, Betrayal,
It rips right through me,
How you lie right to me,
Betrayal, Betrayal,
Will this world make better sense?
Once you mean nothing to me...

One day, you will come crawling back,
To the same place that I've been...
